President Donald Trump continued on Monday by intensifying his dispute with singer Bruce Springsteen, who attacked Trump in a concert in London last week calling him “not suitable” for the position, claiming without evidence that the rock icon and other stars like Beyoncé possibly received payment for their support for the exvice president Kamala Harris during the 2024 elections.
Key data
In a publication in Truth Social on Monday morning, Trump suggested that Harris paid Springsteen for his “poor performance during his campaign for president” and asked: “Isn’t that an important and illegal campaign contribution?”
The president’s publication also questioned the legitimacy of Beyoncé and Oprah’s sponsorships, insinuating that they were paid to do so.
The president’s publication also appointed the Irish rock star Bono, who did not publicly support Harris, but received the presidential medal of La Libertad de Biden in January.
Trump then said he will “ask for an important investigation into this matter”, since he accused Harris, without evidence, of paying sponsorships “under the pretext of paying for entertainment.”
The president claimed that high -profile backups were a “desperate” and “non -legal” effort to “artificially increase her low hobby.”
He then attacked celebrities, calling them “antipatriotics” and “corrupt.”
What do we know about Trump’s dispute with Bruce Springsteen?
This is the second time in the last week that Trump attacks Springsteen. On Friday, Trump attacked the member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, calling him “very overvalued.” “I never liked, I never liked his music or his radical left policy and, more importantly, he has no talent,” Trump said about Springsteen. Trump also threatened the star musician, who is currently touring Europe, telling him that he should “shut her mouth until she returns to the country.”
What has Springsteen said about Trump?
Springsteen, who has been Trump’s staunch critic for several years, denounced the president during a concert in the United Kingdom last week. The singer said that the United States is “currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and traitorous administration.” Springsteen added: “They are chasing people for exercising their right to freedom of expression and expressing their disagreement … the richest men please themselves to abandon the poorest children in the world to disease and death … they are expelling residents from US streets and, without the due legal process, they are deporting them to detention centers and prisons abroad.”
Tangent
Although his last publication did not mention it, last week Trump attacked Taylor Swift, other superstar music that had supported Harris in the 2024 elections. In a publication in Truth Social, Trump tweeted: “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I hate Taylor Swift’, he is no longer ‘Guau’?” The sudden diatribe against Swift seemed to be spontaneous, since the singer has not mentioned him or her 2024 opponent in recent months. In February, the president mocked Swift in a publication in Truth Social after the Super Bowl, since some fans attending the game booed when he appeared on the big screen. Trump wrote: “The only one that had a more difficult night that the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift,” while claiming that her supporters were “booing outside the stadium,” and added: “Maga is very implacable!” Swift attended the game to support her boyfriend and player of the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce.
